Minirin Melt 120 mcg 30 tablets

Minirin Melt 120 mcg 30 Tablets Synthetic synthetic analogue of the natural pituitary hormone arginine vasopressin. The difference lies in the deamination of cysteine and the replacement of L-arginine with D-arginine

Medical uses:

• Primary nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting) in children (from age 5) and adults (up to age 65).
• Desmopressin is used to control the amount of urine produced by the kidneys. Normally, the amount of urine excreted is controlled by a certain substance in the body called vasopressin.
